Epic Games will get rid of accidental swastika in Fortnite

Fortnite’s defining feature is that it lets you build structures, but the creators have no control over what you do with that power. Players love to forge words, buildings, statues — just about everything under the sun. Recently, some Fortnite players were messing around with the building ability and were surprised to find the game displayed a swastika in the middle of their creation.

“This was unintended and will be addressed ASAP by adjusting the metal piece art,” said an Epic developer. The studio confirmed to The Verge that it is getting rid of the accidental symbol so it does not appear when other players replicate this shape in-game. It’s a touchy situation with a swift resolution, one that is a testament to Epic’s generally speedy response times. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is out of the game by the next update, which is slated to drop later this week.
